SACRAMENTO, CA (PRWEB)September 18, 2014

Marc B. Koenigsberg, litigation of counsel in the Sacramento office of law firm Greenberg Traurig has been named President of the Leonard M. Friedman Bar Association. His appointment was announced at the Association’s annual dinner Sept. 3, 2014, where the keynote speaker was State Senator Marty Block, Chair of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus. The dinner was attended by members of the trial court and appellate benches, the State Legislature, and the local Bar. Greenberg Traurig was a sponsor of the event.

Friedman, a prominent member of the Sacramento Jewish community and jurist who served on the Sacramento County Municipal and Superior Courts, as well as on the California Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District. The Association’s mission is to serve as an educational resource, voice and forum for Jewish attorneys and judges on issues relating to the practice of law, the courts and the community.

“I am proud to accept this position named after such a well-respected member of the Sacramento Jewish community,” said Koenigsberg. “I look forward to the next two years as President as the Friedman Bar Association continues to fulfill its mission, reaches out and creates partnerships with other diversity bar associations, and continues to serve as a resource in support of the greater Sacramento Jewish community.”
